3.11. Using The Advanced Search

The advanced search option is available for Company Specs and External Specs, it allows you to carry out a more detailed search within your specifications.

Step 1: Within the Company Specs or External Specs section of Specification Manager, you will find the Advanced Search button with the filter options.

Step 2: You have three options for advanced searching:

  1. All Specifications – Use this option for a keyword search, this will search through all your specification fields for the input word. You can adjust the product type and whole word only settings as required.

2. Ingredient Specifications – This option can be used for your ingredient specifications, when you start to type into these search boxes, it will display a list of available options for you to select. You can use the search type option to modify whether all your selected criteria need to apply to the specification or any of the selected criteria can apply.

3. Specification Templates – This option can be used for searching for a specific response to a dropdown/checkbox field within your specification template.

Step 4: Once you have selected the option you would like to use and set the settings, you can select whether to include the previous filters you had set or not. I.e., before you clicked on the advanced search button, if you had filters set you can switch this option on to maintain those filters in your advanced search. Click on Search to find your results.
